In any case, I am seeing a pattern of covering foreign affairs here to day, as I see a lot of former cold warriors. And it’s good to have Paul and Cruz on. Maybe little Georgie will get a “Cruz” missile up his fat behind!

The "difference" it makes determines the survival of the United States of America.

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." President Ronald Reagan

Thanks for the thread AB much appreciated.
As far as I am concerned the highlight of the week at the annual C-Pac convention was Sarah Palin’s speech last night.
We had a live thread that followed the speech and there was not a dry eye to be found among the participants. I will be reviewing it over and over. Sarah was sheer dynamite and showed what true patriotism is all about. Wonderful speech.
The speech can be found here here among other locations on FR.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oO6C5UwwJTA

Also Ben Carson was in the top five of C-pac voters for potus.
What a dream team a Palin/Carson team would be.

Sarah Palin rocked the CPAC house and I’m sure millions of viewers at home. Her rendition of Green Ham & Eggs is already being played on Fox ‘n Friends, with those stupid weekend fill-in’s sort of smiling in a snarky manner. I wanted to smack that Daily Caller nitwit, what’s-hisname?

Palin's very line--"Who could have seen this coming?" in reference to her 2008 warning about Russia possibly taking military action against the Ukraine--made me do a standing ovation in front of my computer.

Weather was not an issue. Thus, the consensus seems to be catastrophic mechanical failure or terrorism [explosion or possible suicide-by-pilot-or-someone-in-cockpit].

Still no debris pattern, although Vietnam military/air force reported a lengthy oil slick.

Someone posted in one of the related threads that this kind of plane does an automatic ping to towers. That ping and all contact apparently stopped about 50 minutes into the flight. There are indications that the plane continued flying for another hour. A pilot in a different plane said he had momentary contact with the co-pilot at about the 2-hours-in-flight mark.

Soon after the plane disappeared, someone Tweeted that it landed in southern Vietnam. That apparently turned out to be false.

Democrats are all on vacation this week. That's a vast understatement for us here in the Upper Florida Keys as we endure the arrival of the dear leader at a posh resort community called The Ocean Reef Club.

It's a private club that seldom says no to our counties needs, is taxed heavily and relishes privacy that they have earned and paid for over and over. Admission to the club is reportedly as high as $450,000 and many members are still pissed that zero was allowed in and want to know who did the inviting but no one is saying anything yet.

You have to be invited in and its tough to even get in. We go there several times per month making deliveries and the security is really tight.

Anyway members will be all too happy when the Dear Leader leaves their impeccably manicured golf course. You can be sure he probably dislodged a few bucks from some wayward libs or rinos who may inhabit the place.

This is after all the MO of our dear leader. First take their money than play golf than Reggie.

If this club includes rich lib members, maybe some of them will reconsider who they support and vote for in the future, after this weekend’s events. Which I understand Obama takes over the entire golf course: closed to other members.

Raddiz talking with ‘Steve’ [didn’t get his position]. Both are of the opinion that the US does not want to do any sabre rattling regarding the Russia-Ukraine situation, that it will just blow over in a while.

See also Post 46 on that thread. IMHO a good article written by a Rabbi (dont recall seeing this one before).

That article was from 2011, in the aftermath of the months-long attacks on Governor Palin following the Gabby Giffords shooting.

It's just a reminder how isolated she is in the political arena. Until Senator Cruz came along, I can't think of any public official that stood up for her in the clutch. She's a pariah to almost every elected representative.

She was awesome SC and good morning to ya. New time messing with me.
I gotta figure out how to get to C-pac next year. Also I want to join Heritage,great groups both.Not 100% as many here will point out but great for the country, IMHO.

My guess is that he was invited by Jon Stryker, heir to The Stryker Corp.,and a billionaire. Stryker has a place at Ocean Reef and is a huge donor to Democrats and Obama.
My son’s father-in-law has a place there but he’s small potatoes compared to most.

This is a pretty unique club. It's membership is worldwide and is usually a third or fourth home for most members. Nearly every potus in the past 30 years has made an appearance here.Usually in the winter. It's a different world here from Thanksgiving until Easter.After that it becomes more local.

On Saturday night they have a buffet that is 150 feet long and has it all. Only the best no matter where it has to come from.But as previously stated most of these people have earned what they have.Privacy is everything here.

Ralph Reed taking control of the group and took that CA democrat to school with her attempt to slam Republicans over not helping the “poor” with big government hand outs, by pointing out that the GOP instituted the $1k child tax credit that Clinton vetoed 3 times.

bAss said Obama is right on with Putin, Fournier said Obama was caught flat-footed and added that perhaps we should be spying on Russia instead of our own people.
